The lettering looks very wide to me, Hopefully I'm wrong on all these but IMO not original.

Thanks so far Mark.
I know 100% that this bagde is bought before 1960, but it could still be a copy.
So its not easy to be a collector of German medals.

Hi Andy,
I believe that this is a genuine example of the dish-backed variety, which did have larger lettering. If you could confirm that the reverse does indeed have a large shallow depression it would help though! Also, I think it is a zincer as I think I can detet a round catch-plate under the messy solder job (not uncommon for Schwerin zincers).

Andy,
i have no problem with this one.A good looking Schwerin zincer and as Mike mentioned ,a messy solder job under the catchplate which is not uncommon.
Here is a detail of one that i have.

Hello Andy,
I am once again late to the party, but Mike and Martin are correct it is a real badge. I have a similar example in zinc, but with dished back. Nice piece.
Regards,
Jody
